I was born and raised in Goa. My photographic interests lie in landscapes, people, portraiture, culture, architecture and photojournalism. Geographical areas of focus are Goa, Iceland, and the Death Valley region of California.

Over the past several years, I have traveled all over Iceland, to many of its remote areas, in an ongoing in-depth exploration.
